hink about what you have learned with regard to the five critical steps of evidence-based practice. In a formal paper of 500-750 words, address the following:

Part 1: Defining the Problem

Identify and describe one topic that may resolve a patient-care-quality problem or issue.
Draft a possible problem statement.
Describe a problem. Explain why it is a problem, and why it is significant to your discipline. Use the literature you gathered as support for why this is a problem in relation to your practice. The problem should focus on the resolution of an issue significant to improving patient care.
Draft a purpose statement in relation to your problem statement that states what you hope to accomplish if you implemented this project.
Part 2: Defining a Searchable, Answerable Question

From what you wrote about your problem and purpose, develop searchable questions using the PICOT format that will be the basis for your implementation plan. Word count is not relative in this section. Include evidence-based resources .General

Requirements: Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide

Hi I need help with my med surge 1 case studies.

Joe Harrison, a 62-year-old bank executive, presents to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. He describes the pain as excruciating, and indicates it is located in the mid epigastrium with radiation into his back. The patient states he has not eaten anything in the past 24 hours, but 2 days ago attended a wedding dinner and consumed a large meal and about 4 to 5 alcoholic beverages. Mr. Harrison admits to being a “social drinker,” ingesting 2 to 3 alcoholic beverages several days a week. Based on his clinical presentation and history, Mr. Harrison is admitted with a diagnosis of rule-out pancreatitis. (Learning Objectives 4 and 5)

• A. Blood and urine samples are sent to the lab, and the results indicate that the serum amylase and lipase are markedly elevated. How do these findings correlate to the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis?

 

• B. The nurse notes that Mr. Harrison’s stool is pale and bulky, while his urine is a dark tea color. Correlate these findings to the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis.

C. Mr. Harrison’s WBC is 18,500, and his serum glucose is 325. His LDH is 300 IU/L and the AST is 120 U/mL. Based on the Criteria for Predicting the Severity of Pancreatitis, what is Mr. Harrison’s mortality risk?

D. Mr. Harrison develops hypocalcemia secondary to the acute pancreatitis. What nursing interventions should the nurse implement related to this complication?
